Dugast Warning!
A shop just blew up my brand new Dugasts – literally. They called cyclocrossworld and they told the shop that max PSI was 40. 40 PSI is not mentioned anywhere on the tires or cyclocrossworld or the Dugast website. No refunds credits, etc… So, the shop is buying me new tires. After all the nonsense, I’m not getting Dugasts – they have left a bad feeling in me. I will be getting a set of Tufo Flexus and a set of Tufo Clincher Tubulars in their replacement. 4 for 2 isn’t a bad deal.

I think you’ll like the Tufo Flexus. They are more durable than Dugast and can be used with sealant with great success. The Dugast tires are overhyped and too fragile.
If you run the Tufo Clinchers/tubulars you need to run some glue on the clincher base or don’t go below 40 PSI. We had a bunch of guys on these in the past and they rolled A LOT at low pressures.
I just grabbed the Tufo LPS 32′s, and some Clement Grifo Neve 30′s off of ebay… and I’m going to glue the holy-hell out of them. I’ll use all 12 bottles of my Mastik glue if I have to.
